Jack Tucker, former sports editor for the Democrat and Chronicle in a 1935 article (date uncertain) wrote: "Parks Director, Patrick Joseph Slavln, and a young man named Robert Trent Jones, golf architect who went to Cornell University and learned all about how to build a golf course, got their heads together. When their huddle was over Mr. Jones had sold Mr. Slavln a bill of goods. A new course arose. A beautiful golf course. A veritable beauty spot, and a place where good golfers could be developed." As many may know, Robert Trent Jones was born in East Rochester, spent most of his early youth around Rochester, and was a pretty fine golfer in his day. A brief article-People In Golf-in GOLF DIGEST, September 1975 said: "At 68, Trent Jones has reshaped nearly 56,000 acres of land into 400 new or remodeled golf courses, including all or part of 33 of Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Tests." "The sun never sets on a Robert Trent Jones golf course." A few he has created or redesigned in addition to the Durand Eastman Golf Course are: Peachtree in Atlanta, Oakmont in Pennsylvania, Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Firestone in Akron, Spy Glass Hill In California, and recently, Bristol Harbor Golf Course at Canandaigua. The revamping of the Durand Eastman Golf Course by Robert Trent Jones during the depression years of 1933-34 was a major change. The physical area of the course was increased with the result that the present llth, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and l7th holes were now on the west side of Kings Highway. This move allowed a better arrangement of holes on the east side of Kings Highway, eliminated the tightness of the original eighteen, and resulted in the lengthening of many holes.
